life: It’s not unusual for protests and strikes to break out in Greece. Taking to the street to denounce the government, wars, and other events and organizations has been a frequent outlet for disgruntled Greeks for decades. But on Feb. 23, 2011, a 24-hour strike turned violent, and Athens literally erupted in flames. Pictured: A motorcycle policeman is seen in flames as he tries to escape after a flaming gasoline bomb was thrown at him during riots in front of the parliament in Athens. Greece: Up in Flames

alltheawards: WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Are you fucking kidding me? The assumption that black people are going to have abortions left and right is absurd. Not only that, they are assuming that African Americans will require Planned Parenthood. Excuse yourself, assholes who created this gigantic ad. You are singling out an entire population. I am also offended for the integrity of this child who clearly does not have the maturity to decide whether or not she wants to be in an ad like this. This is exploitation. I cannot believe that people would attack Planned Parenthood in such an offensive way. PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH IT, DON’T GO. BUT LET OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HEALTHY REPRODUCTIVE LIVES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE WITH ABORTION. You can be pro-life without being a complete fucking inhuman jackass. Anti-Abortion Group, Life Always, Puts Up Billboard In SoHo Which States ‘The Most Dangerous Place For An African American Is In The Womb’ I am sickened and appalled. What the actual fuck is this. This is discrimination on so many levels it’s unbelievable. There are much more appropriate and different ways to advertise and this is NOT one of them, get the fuck out, ugh.

Now they’re sure no other country will interfere and everyone can be killed.
It’s disgusting.
